talking about that we are both from el paso. you make a connection and you get to know this is a woman at my door who has the ability to say she wants my vote. that is going to weigh much more heavily with any latino voter. the polls show latino voters are neither left or right. they are really up for grabs. anyone who overlooks them. >> i can pretty much -- i used to be a democrat and a republican. i ran three times as a democrat for county commissioner. three times for county judge as a republican. i think you touched on it. you are right. it is up to the candidates versus the sos office to generate that interest. it is about the person. i think part of it -- when you have a county like cameron that is overwhelmingly democrat. 65% democrat. i was able to win three times against a pretty strong democrat where the straight ticket vote in cameron is 2.5 times of that of a republican. on election day, i'm down 8000 votes, but i think it is important to recognize it is about the candidate. speaking nonpartisanally, there was a lot

in the el paso sector the average agent apprehends 4.5 people a year. not in a week, not in a month, but for the entire year. so when we talk about stepping up border enforcement, and this southern border campaign strategy, i'd like to know what that means for my community. is that simply repositioning resources along the border, as my colleague congressman barber said, moving the border patrol up to the line of the border? instead of being set back. or are you asking for ultimately more border patrol agents, more walls, more of these militarization measures which i think show us that you have a problem with diminishing returns right now. you mention 1.6 million apprehended in 2000. not even 500,000 this year. at what point do we have enough security on the border? >> first of all, i've been to artesia myself. that facility there. it's being closed. i want to make sure we have adequate ability for effective attorney/client communications. we've made some enhancements there. but it's being closed in lieu of a larger facility in dilley, texas, as i mentio
